Get Connected!
To do just about anything administrative or academic at U of T, you need to join our electronic student
information system. The Repository of Student Information (ROSI) is the web-based tool you will use to
enrol in courses and programs, update your address, view your fees account, check your marks, and
much more.
Start by registering at www.rosi.utoronto.ca. Your User ID is your U of T student number. The first
time you log on, your Personal Identification Number (PIN) will be your date of birth, in the format
YYMMDD; you will be prompted to select a new PIN during your first session.
Beginning in JUNE, obtain your U of T Student Card (TCard). Visit www.utoronto.ca/tcard for details
about where and how.
You will also get your U of T email address when you get your TCard. This is what you will use to
communicate and receive information as a U of T student.

Choose Your Courses/Confirm Your Timetable
The Faculty’s Calendar and Registration Handbook and Timetable are your sources for information on
courses, programs, rules and regulations.
Consult these publications at www.artsci.utoronto.ca/current and read them carefully to make sure
your course selection meets your program requirements.
Once you are set up on ROSI you can enrol in the courses you’ve selected on JULY 30.
If you have questions about courses or programs, contact the Woodsworth College Registrar’s Office;
contact information is provided in your offer and welcome materials at join.utoronto.ca.

Plan Your Finances and Pay (or Defer) Your Fees
It’s important to plan out your income and expenses before deciding whether or not to apply for financial aid.
To create a budget using our budgeting tool, click on “Costs of University” at www.adm.utoronto.ca.
Click on “Financial Aid” to learn about financial aid options.
The first instalment of your tuition fees will be due on AUGUST 20. You will need to print your invoice
from ROSI – see Step 5 – and pay your fees at a bank. Complete details are provided in your offer
documents at join.utoronto.ca.
If you wish to defer your fee payment (as you wait for OSAP funds to come through, for example) you
can do so online through ROSI, provided you applied for OSAP on time.
